Striated Pardalote

on the farmyard fence, location Eumungerie, inland, central-western N.S.W.

and nesting inside this hanging pot-plant water-well!  

there's another hanging pot-plant near these grape vines overhead ...and it's another nesting spot

  4. As a birdname that must rate alongside the Collared Pratincole and the Zitting Cisticola. Neat little bird though.

  7. John: I like the way you associated the quirky bird names, the tongue twisters. You might wonder who thinks up a bird name in the first place? Margaret: I will make a mention for you, when I catch up with Alan again.

  8. A very unusual and attractive looking bird there Carole. It must be from one of the many bird families you have down there but which we don't share. Such an interesting name too. Lovely shots of it too which show all its features.

  9. As far as bird names are concerned, how about Oleaginous Hemispingus?

  16. A pretty little bird with a name I have never heard of. Poor little thing could use a bit more tail feathers though.

thanks for visiting Snap Happy Birding, and for leaving a comment; I can still see them. Now both my blogs are resting in idle mode. It was time to give other things priority, even though I miss my regular blogging and the feedback that came my way over the years. Take care.
